Abstract

In this paper we consider the initial-boundary value problem for a fourth order parabolic equation with gradient nonlinearity. The problem is regarded as the L2-gradient flow for an energy functional which is unbounded from below. We first prove the existence and the uniqueness of solutions to the problem via the Galerkin method. Moreover, combining the potential well method with the Galerkin method, we study the asymptotic behavior of global-in-time solutions to the problem.
